Your sandbox draft about Michael Dressler

 * It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account.
 * Even if there had been no copyright problem, the page would not have been suitable as an article. It was written very much as a personal essay, commenting on its subject rather than simply reporting facts. It was also unmistakably promotional in tone, unmistakably giving the impression of having been written by someone who admires Michael Dressler, and wishes to encourage others to do so, rather than being written from a neutral point of view. (That is so despite the fact that the most blatantly promotional content in the original had been removed or toned down.) JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 20:16, 2 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I am the owner of the domain www.bergencountysurrogate.com and took all of the photographs that have been presented on that page and in this sandbox article. Perhaps that is where the copyright issue you are referring to stems from?  If not, I respectfully request your assistance in identifying the issue.  My domain is hosted by GoDaddy and represents a government office where I work and have produced the aforementioned content.  I am happy to license anything that is necessary to Wikipedia for free use in this article.   I am happy to work with an editor on adjusting the tone of the article if you believe it to be too favorable.  I was of the opinion that the information I presented was more biographical and that anything deemed excessive would be recommended for deletion by a Wikipedia editor.
